Mark was born in Stockton, California to Calvin and Viola Henderson on January 16, 1950. He was a lifelong resident of Stockton having graduated from Amos Alonzo Stagg High School, and continued in his family's business for over 40 years.

His mother, Viola Henderson, precedes him in death. Mark is survived by his father, Calvin

Henderson; brother Roy (Marsha); and sister Gail. Mark is also the proud and beloved father of his daughter Nicole (Jon) Wright; son Tommy (Stacy) Henderson; and "pop pop" to his four grandchildren Gianna and Jackson Wright, and Adriana and Aniston Henderson.

Mark was well liked by all who knew him. He always had a humorous story to share, which became more entertaining with each telling. He loved spending time with his friends playing golf.

To them he will always be "Mr. Distance." Whether camping, fishing, or taking the "perfect" scenic photo, Mark loved the outdoors.

He treasured the time he spent and laughter shared with his children and grandchildren.
